Who is building with Beechwood

[/quote]Hi Tom
So how long will it have been if they finish bricks in next 2 days?
My brickies start next week and just gauging how long they will take. Thanks[/quote]

Tapsk it will be a total of 3-4 days from start to finish. Beechwood put a massive crew on the job today there was 7 of them working. They said they normally work for private builders. It's a decent size house Bordeaux guest with a split level. Their work is impeccable, cleaning as they go wall looks good .[/quote]Nice one. Been watching your progress and you are a couple steps ahead so its been good viewing. What size is the house? [/quote]

It's about 255m2.. we have had a few bumps in the road but hopefully it's all sorted now. Found out yesterday that the kitchen was in production and due for delivery is the end of the month.. I doubt that will happen as I would think they have a bit of work to do before that. What area are you building Tapsk? What sort of house?

I'm building the Hayman 33 with an extra garage. I've had gutters & fascias done. Bricks were delayed due to bad batch, but have now been delivered. Roof(colourbond) to be finished tomorrow. Bricks were planned before roof but due to the bad batch the roof jumped the queue.
Like everyone else we have the worst possible rain stretch causing delays. Kitchen sounds early, but thats a good thing i guess.

I think it's because we behind. It sat idle after frame for about 5 weeks. Roof not on yet so as far as we been told roof gutters electrical rough in and gyprock needs to be done before kitchen. I would imagine that they will just push the delivery date back. Very happy so far with The brick crew even down to the detail.. instead of building the mortar bed that few mm bigger they have spliced small slithers of bricks in around the entry area, there attention to detail is great. hardly and motar on the face of the brick and they cleaning as they go. Beds look good no holes or cracks.

So another week passes and still no closer to getting this strip footing holding the extended roof line fixed. Was brought up 6 weeks ago and the concrete supervisor was going to again have it done by today the latest so it dosent hold the bricks up. Brickie will be finished Monday so they are going to have to come back more delays. Might be time to head to fair trading to get them to resolve as concrete was paid for ages ago and nothing much being done about it. See what the outcome is Monday with the construction manager. We have been more than fair getting this sorted

So excited 😊 we received our linen plan for the land last week! Which aloud us to go and put our deposit down with beechwood! So excited to finally get some real plans of our house instread of make shift drawn all over plans!!

How exciting!! Can't wait to see your house go up.

Oh exciting times ahead NAMT... Looking forward to your updates soon

Great news NAMT. Looking forward to the updates

I was getting to the point where I gad given up hope the beechwood house would fit and was waiting to face having to find another house. But realestate people are just big liars I have found who have no clue what is going on.

Oh no. But on the bright side, things are slowly progressing, better than nothing at all...Looking forward to your updates soon

Anyone could answer how often Beechwood Increase base price?

Last price rise was September and about yearly. But don't quote me it's the feeling I get from them

Once a year then that would be great...

How did you go Tom?

We paid our deposit on the weekend and the answer we got to when's the next price was "no rise soon"
